Location: Wild Wonderful		I almost found a part number on the leaf spring. Anyway, since it got up to 60 degrees today, I pushed the
frame outside so I could clean it up. I sprayed in each one of the holes. I got a lot of dirt, rocks and one rats
nest out of it.

Location: Wild Wonderful		Well Heck. I cut a section from a 59 Dodge frame, only to find out that it is a 1/2 inch smaller all
the way around. So I am going to need a section from a big Chrysler or DeSoto.

Nathan, Do you still have that frame?

Location: So. Cal		I do still have it, but I cut it up with a plasma cutter to fit into a truck bed, and I cut it right at the downturn where your largest rust spot is. Sorry, I didn't know you were going to want it.

However, I don't recommend that you weld in a whole new section like that anyway. You should just patch it in smaller pieces. Welds are never as strong as the original metal, and you should remove as little of the original frame as possible. So I recommend that you use the Dodge section you have and cut it up to patch up the rusted part. But don't cut out an entire frame section because it won't be as strong that way and you will risk it breaking apart in the future. If you insist on doing an entire section, you will need to weld braces over the sides of the welds to make them stronger. But if you just patch in the rusted parts, cutting away only the parts that are bad, you should be able to keep it looking stock without worrying about it's structural integrity. Just make sure the welds penetrate well and are set hotter than usual to ensure that.

Location: Wild Wonderful		No problem. Thanks anyway.

Yes. I was just going to cut away the rusty sections, like the bottom. And half way up the sides in some areas.
Removing only what is necessary. The problem is that the DeSoto frame is 5 inches across the bottom, but the
Dodge frame is only 4 1/2 inches. So, I would rather get a frame that is the correct size, so I don't have to
modify it to fit.

Does anybody have a big 1958 Chrysler or DeSoto frame section that they can send me?

I would just weld the lower section.

if you weld it right it will be stronger

Get a nice angled edge on both pieces and give it some room, turn the welder up and let er rip

I spend 3 hours shoving a pressure sprayer hose up my old frame, finally got it spotless. Sprayed cavity wax inside the frame.

I guess a big chrysler is different than a dodge, smaller wheelbase calls for smaller frame.

Actually there are 100's of vendors. I just linked a quick search.

I went with 1 gallon of "undercoating in a can". Its black and goes on pretty thick and doesnt run so much.

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Tools-Undercoating-Flexible-TP-3043/dp/B07...


I have used like 10 different ones. Eastwood is overpriced also, fluidfilm is too runny.

Get a cheak undercoating sprayer with a wand off amazon, 59$ for a gallon.

Location: So. Cal		My current frame section goes from the large rust area forward, and backward. If that can help you, I will send it to you if you pay the shipping. I can cut it as small as you like to save shipping cost. But my current cut does go through that major rust area. But if you weld the two parts together on both sides before you use them to patch, it would be strong that way. Just an option if you can't find another frame to cut.

Location: Wild Wonderful		Okay, it is time to get back to work on this. And I am following all you guys that have a 58 DeSoto in the works.
I hope everyone gets a lot done on their cars this year. Maybe we can have a 58 reunion in 2020.
When I got this car, I knew that I would be needing new door panels, so I ordered them back in Oct. 2017.
I finally got them this passed week. It will still be a long time before I get to the interior. I am working on the frame now.

an earlier or later model. ?
Also, does anyone else have the rubber protection strips on the bottom of their grille, like this one?

The only thing that I would like to bellyache about is the way they lie to you in their emails.
Don't tell me that they are in the final stage, and should be ready next month when you know it is
going to be another 10 months before they are done. Just tell me it will be 10 months. I'm a
big boy, I can take it. They got me all excited after 6 months telling me that they were in the final stage.
I'm sure they got of my emails.

does the squeaky wheel get the grease?

If you hadn't emailed it might have been another two years? I know this stuff is all hand labor and a total pita...

I swear im going to start making door panels... need the electro welder though and it probably give you cancer

 

I will probably just make mine like this

Location: So. Cal		Perfect. That's how I would have done it too. Just use a lot of power to ensure you get good penetration. If you are concerned with strength in certain areas, you can plug weld another plate across the weld on the inside of the frame so it won't be visible when done.

Location: So. Cal		See if you can make out the letter in front of the number. Mine says "B" there. Also, the letter after the 57 date is "B". Maybe your's says "A" in both places or maybe it is a "B" and an "A". Your number is a little different from mine as well. Check and see if it might be the same or not. I suspect that they are really the same number.

And I missed the number by one digit. It reads B-1820308 .
For the date, I can see the top part of a straight line . So all I can read is 1 - 57 A .
Here is a different angle. Maybe you can see the ghost outline of the "B".

if the engine number is on the frame, you could find the vin right?



I don't think anyone has found the VIN on the frame of a 58 DeSoto. ?? If anyone has, I would like to see it.

Location: Finland		I have two vin numbers on my firedome 58 frame- but I have punched them myself since in Finland we have to get that done prior to registration. One number is required but I
punched two just for fun!

Location: Finland		Keep up the strong work! One day it is ready...
Thanks for sharing that mousesaurus nest in the glove box...it gets me to remember my own finds...mostly in the rear seat or on top of the headliner.
That picture explains always what this is about and why we do this - we are crazy people...
